My Patch 
So the high street coffee barons are after money wor internet access... Before being made unemployed I often went to my local Costas, took out my netbook and connected to the web while enjoying a large Latte. I felt no guilt, I use my own mobile broadband (via a dongle) and rely on battery power. As I'm often reading The Guardian online, doing some research before making a purchase in town or checking my Emails I see it no different to my quietly having a coffee while reading a paper, magazine or reading a letter. If I was in the coffee shop with friends I'd chat to them. However, I don't go to a coffee shop alone to be acosted by strangers, unless they're cute and they can do that, whether I'm using my netbook or not. The problem here isn't the use of laptops in cafe's it is a problem of people taking up a seat and not making a purchase. Easy solution is to have a sign saying that if you have not made a recent purchase you may be asked politely to leave if seats are required by new customers. By the way MINE's A PINT Spread the Word
